<p> Student Empowerment </p><p>Widening participation, supporting students to make change in faculties and enabling them to shape their own educational experience</p><p>My priorities will be:  Better use of faculty reps o Providing CUSU training for new faculty reps o Creating a more effective faculty reps network  Effective ways to gather student opinion o Single issue faculty focused polls to give those fighting for change the specific data they need  Decolonizing curricula and modes of learning o Coordinating the efforts of students and receptive faculty members to expand course content</p><p>Examining intersections</p><p>Campaigning for all students means recognising that everyone’s experience of education is different and fighting for the specific needs of all groups and individuals.</p><p>My priorities will be:  Disabled students o Disabled students experience lower levels of satisfaction with their educational experience o I will work with the D.S.O to ensure reasonable adjustments are provided, monitored and communicated  BME/ women's attainment gap o Large attainment gaps still exist for firsts for both women and many BME groups o Research must be done into why these persist  Hosting and promoting the work of academics excluded from the curricula  Campaigning to diversify alumni representation o Both within colleges and through student led events and campaigns</p><p>National Politics</p><p>Now it is more important than ever to be engaged with government Higher Education policies </p><p>My priorities will be:  Fighting the Teaching Excellence Framework, which will o Raise fees o Turn students into consumers by marketising the education system o Damage social mobility and access work  Campaigning against the government’s Prevent Strategy, which o Stifles campus activism o Restricts academic freedom o Specifically targets Muslim and BME students and encourages Islamophobia  Raising awareness among students of the dangers of these two government initiatives is key to resisting them</p><p>Keep the pressure on</p><p>CUSU only works when issues are fought for year on year, because the people who make decisions about us think in decades not terms.</p><p>I will continue the great work already being done on:  Implementation and improvement of university wide supervisor training  Making sure the university honours student opinion on easy opt- out systems for class-lists  Decolonising curricula  Improving the provision of exams and coursework feedback </p><p>Why me?</p><p>I am experienced in student activism and understand how to bring about change within CUSU and the University. Education is a welfare issue and thinking about the needs of all students is the only way to improve the system we study within.</p><p>My previous experience:  President of Robinson JCR 15/16  LGBT+ Officer on Women’s Campaign 16/17  Women’s Officer of Robinson JCR 14/15</p>
